The Chalkboard: April 2014
http://jhuchalkboard.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Playfully Serious Math: A glimpse at Vi Hart and Fibonacci. I am often struck by just how repulsive mathematics is to some people when, in my eyes, it is all an absolute kaleidoscope of color, art and logical splendor. But it is not always easy to get someone else to see what you see. This is what education is all about, I guess. One step at a time. Doodling in Math: Spirals, Fibonacci, and Being a Plant. The other two parts follow immediately from this one. Give them a look!

The Chalkboard: Math in the Media: Stereotype Threat?
http://jhuchalkboard.blogspot.com/2015/02/math-in-media-stereotype-threat.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Math in the Media: Stereotype Threat? How often we are in Mathematics faced with the fact that our profession was, and still is, quite female-starved; that boys and men are thought to be better at math than girls and women (an amazingly ridiculous thought, given my view up here!

Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Math in the Media: Hot vs. Not. After a long stretch, I will be back to blogging. Sorry for the gap in communication. So many things get in the way of so many things. Is a way to compare IQ verses hotness for various academic disciplines. A psychology-based blog entitled The Hardest Science. Displays a way to "see" how the two measures of a discipline compare. Silly, yes. But interesting. The hotness-IQ tradeoff in academia. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Monday, December 22, 2014. Math in the Media: Prime Gaps. I am always amazed at how some of the most vexing, curious and fascinating puzzles in mathematics can be stated so simply, even as they evade solution or even complete understanding for centuries. It is one of the more alluring aspects of this trade. Here's one: Just how big can the gaps between consecutive pairs of prime numbers get as one traverses the natural numbers out toward infinity? I'll let you read this nice article by Erica Klarreich.
